Three little letters
That land like a million,
But honestly are
Worth more than a billion!

I’ve painted you pictures,
And written you rhymes.
Composed you some songs,
For I’m proud you are mine.

But nothing I’ve done
Parallels what you did.
When I asked if you loved me,
You said that you did!

Nothing at all you could
Tell this here boy,
That could ever, sever,
My night of sheer joy.

The words that you spoke,
Gave me hope and they did,
Energize and revive me
With a reason to live.

So I thank you now
For making me new.
It’s because you said “Yes, ”
We celebrate me and you!

Robert Edgar Burns
